Frequently asked questions

How much is LEGO Go-Kart (948-1) worth?

LEGO Go-Kart is worth approximately $151 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.

Is LEGO Go-Kart retired?

Yes — Go-Kart (948-1) has been retired by LEGO and is no longer in production. Retired sets have fixed supply, which is why their prices are driven purely by the resale market.

Has LEGO Go-Kart gone up in value?

Yes. Go-Kart launched at $22 and now trades around $151, an increase of 587.8%. See the price history chart for how it got there.

What is the price per piece for Go-Kart?

At its $22 retail price across 206 pieces, Go-Kart works out to about $0.107 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.

Is LEGO Go-Kart a good investment?

Go-Kart currently trades 587.8% above its $22 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market. Past performance is not a prediction — condition, packaging and how long you hold all affect what a set actually sells for. BrickStats reports the numbers rather than giving investment advice.

Why is LEGO Go-Kart so expensive?

Go-Kart was released in 1978 and has since retired. Once LEGO stops producing a set, the only supply is what is already in circulation, so sealed copies in good condition compete for a shrinking pool of stock. That scarcity, not the parts, is what moves the price.
